‘Any-yutfi-‘uu – (they put out), the origin of this word is ‘it-faa-‘un.
It means “to put out the fire or light, to extinguish”. One more word has been
derived from the same, which is tafuu-‘un. It means “to be extinguished,
to fall dim”.

Ya’-baa – {(He) will not allow}, its origin is ‘abaa-‘un,
which means “to refuse from obeying someone’s saying, to reject any other’s
proposal or opinion by resisting or arguments”. The Devil (Satan) did not obey
the Command of God Almighty, so, about him, the word ‘abaa has come in Surah
‘Al-Baqarah.

At the end of the last Section, for the Muslims, a law of fighting
against the people of the Scripture belonged to Arab, was prescribed. Before it,
the Muslims were commanded to fight against the Idolaters of Makkah only
that until the disturbance and its causes are not annihilated entirely, and the
human behavior is not purified from selfishness and thoughts of personal
benefits, they should fight against the infidels. If they do not accept, then
the Muslims should drive them out from the Arab, because without accepting that
“God is the Greatest” getting rid of selfishness and thoughts of personal
benefits is not possible.

Therefore it was commanded: Continue fighting against them till the
time; the Religion does not be purely for Allah Almighty. If the Idolaters turn
away from this panacea, before which, the disease of selfishness cannot stay,
then drive them out from the territory.

It was not hoped that the people of the Scripture will cooperate with
the Idolaters, and having belief in God and the Day of Judgment, they will get
ready to remove the Religion of Truth. Therefore, such condition was imposed
for their living in the Arab that they should be obedient of the Muslims. But
those haughty people did not refrain from their villainy.

Therefore, after that, they were also driven out from the Arab. Not only
they denied the Religion of Truth but desired to finish it. Main reason of it
is that the plurality has been in force into them too. They consider that their
rabbis and monks are equal to God Almighty, and they say openly with their
mouths: These great people have been empowered by God in the management of the
world and they are independent. Everyone should ask them for whatever one
wants.
